Servings: 6 Tablespoons

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Sweet Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher or Sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Whisk until no lumps remain and the ingredients are fully combined.
  • Store in an airtight container, at room temp, in a dry area, for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • This is a great all around rub that can be used on just about anything going on the grill or in the smoker.
  • For a smokier flavor, you can use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. Or add ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper if you like a spicy seasoning. 
  • The amount in this recipe is great for a large rack of ribs or even a large roaster chicken, just to give an idea of how much you will end up using.
  • Recipe can be doubled or tripled to make a larger amount.,
